Brief Answer:
Seems to be allergy, dryness or mild infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. These sensations around the edges of the eyes and on the nose may be due to allergy, dryness or a mild infection..
2. Start with an anti-allergic such as cetrizine/ levocetrizine/ fexofenadine/ ebastine once a day, preferably after consultation with a local ENT and an Eye Specialist. Moisol eye drops can be used.
3. The timing suggests either a sleep disturbance or an allergy to something in the house and specifically your bedroom/ bathroom. Dust mite allergy, water temperature while washing the face, new soaps and so on may be the cause.
4. Some times, mild infections including fungal infections from rubbing the yes and nose (transferred from elsewhere in the body) may be the cause. Avoid self treatment for these and let a Skin Specialist check if the above treatment does not control the symptoms.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
